Can someone tell me how long Davis takes to ship out a Deerslayer trigger? I sent my money order a few weeks ago and haven't heard a peep out of them?

TIA,

I want to show these photos that demonstrate what I consider good performance in a flintlock. The lock is a Chamber round-faced English lock (which I consider the best lock commercially made today). However, it was tuned by me, springs balanced (frizzen spring opens at 30% of the force required to pull flintcock to full), and the frizzen was case hardened. The first photo shows sparks from a fresh sharp flint:
Now I turn that flint around so...

I've always just let the lead air cool on an old towel. Not sure I'd want to rapidly cool lead by dropping into water but have never heard of anyone having issues by doing it. So, do you drop them in water or let them air cool and why?]]>41Miroku flintlocks??Mon, 20 May 2019 17:05:58 +0000http://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/threads/miroku-flintlocks.114846/

So i started with

a Dunlap's maple blank, a 42" 40 caliber barrel, Chambers LH lock. As my mentor Ken (the gentleman in the white shirt) says " to build a LH gun you just work upside down and backwards. " You add all the parts together, bring to a boil, allow to simmer a few years while LIFE has its way with you, and here's the finished product.

Now i have this LH flint 40 cal, and have read plenty of info about getting it to go bang. But again, no one I know shoots a rock lock.

If you could give ONE piece of advice for success with a flintlock... what would it be??

It seems the 1st thing everyone starts going on about is ignoring the pan flash and all the ways to go about not letting it effect the shooter. So, in essence, the 1st thing everyone makes a big fuss about is the #1 thing we don't want the shooter to notice or think about. Before they've even had an issue with it. This doesn't make sense to me.
